Is Obama Building Up Air, Sea and Marine Forces on Iran’s Doorstep?

DEBKA File: debkafile’s military sources report a decision by the Obama administration to boost US military strength in the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf regions in the short term with an extra air and naval strike forces and 6,000 Marine and sea combatants. Carrier Strike Group 10, headed by the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, sails out of the US Navy base at Norfolk, Virginia Friday, May 21. On arrival, it will raise the number of US carriers off Iranian shores to two. Up until now, President Barack Obama kept just one aircraft carrier stationed off the coast of Iran, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Arabian Sea, in pursuit of his policy of diplomatic engagement with Tehran.

For the first time, too, the US force opposite Iran will be joined by a German warship, the frigate FGS Hessen, operating under American command.

According to the report, which I haven’t independently verified, we’ll have four or five US aircraft carriers in the region. That’s a pretty big “f-ing” deal if it’s true. The reason I’m so puzzled is his treatment of Israel – our one true ally in the middle east. That, and the fact that he suffered a huge diplomatic defeat a few days ago. Feel free to weigh in if you have any thoughts on the matter.

Vigilance is a virtue. Back in the day when I returned to the world, I told myself everything else is gravy and the word was my Oyster. 30+ years later, I find myself looking back in retrospective, and seem to miss the the point. Carriers have one purpose, strength. It would seem foolish to engage such a superior force, without expecting total defeat.

The person with the power to render these folks impotent, is so damn afraid of the Muslim world, they think and act like an Ostrich. Someone needs to give those yahoos an ample butt- stuffing, along with a penile civics lesson. I figure after 3 or 4 years the people who haven’t a clue, will wise up, literally choke themselves.

If you haven’t seen the light yet….you never will. Nothing like retards trying to pass law for retards. (oops!… mentally defectives)

2. Blockade, not on Iran, but on Israel to thwart any possible attack.

3. Tie up critical fleet forces to the other side of the hemisphere so China can make a run on Taiwan.

4. Finish the job cleaning up the mess Bush started, of course.

5. It was his next move on the board playing Battleship with Hugo Chavez.

6. Once there, the ships crews will be ordered to abandon them and Obama will “gift” them to Iran as a token of good will and diplomacy, since nothing else has worked. He also thinks it’s a great tax deduction.

7. Carrier hangar decks will be loaded with defective Toyotas to offer to aspiring suicide car bombers and we get a twofer without firing a shot. Very shrewd.

8. Because George said so.

9. He wants to be the first President to spell out his name using U.S. war ships for satellite photos.

10. Deploy as many military personnel as possible so absentee votes are either late or disputed in November.

I have read the debka.com for years now. Some have even said the site is connected to the Mossad. When the world was making fun of Bush’s phantom WMD in Iraq, debka.com had the truth about what happened with the Iraqi WMD.

After more than a year, US president Barack Obama has suddenly stepped back form his icy treatment of Israel. In an effort to make amends, he sent his top advisers, including his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, with a public apology (of a kind) to leading American rabbis.

Political and Jewish circles see the change as an attempt win back Jewish voter support for the Democrats, eroded over the downturn in US-Israel relations, for the forthcoming midterm elections.

The Democrats are in trouble with the Jewish vote and again, Obama is sending a message to the people that would object the most………PROGRESSIVES…….shut up and let us win back the house and the senate in November. Dutifully they will be silent….anyone heard from Moveon.org or Michael Moore or hollywood lately?……..nope.
